The Lady On The Cameo
The Lady On The Cameo
Composer(s): Hoffman - Kent - Kurtz
Performer(s): Sam Browne
Once I stopped at a little shop
And a girl on a lovely cameo
Caught my eye and my heart leaped high
Seemed I heard her say hello
Just one look overtook my heart
I was part of a world I didn’t know
Taken there by the sweet and fair
Lady on the cameo
We were strolling in a garden
When a chansonette
Softly drifted through
She confided as we glided in a minuet
I love you
Moments rare were the moments there
Drifting back to the lovely long ago
Side by side with the dreamy eyed
Lady on the cameo

Change The World
Change The World
Composer(s): Tommy Sims - Gordon Kenney - Wayne Kirkpatrick
First release by: Eric Clapton - 1996
If I can reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams
And I can change the world
I will be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
And if I could be king
Even for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made
Till then I'd be a fool
Wishing for the day...
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
I could change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

From Here On It Got Rough
From Here On It Got Rough
German Title: Von Nun An Ging's Bergab
Composer(s): Hans Hammerschmid;
Hildegard Knef; David Cameron
Performer(s): Hildegard Knef
I came to the world on a cold winter's day
Sneezed three times, it must have been hay
My Father was livid, he wanted a son
I took a look round and said to the Nun
"From here on it gets rough"
At first I found I had little to do
They allowed me to grow, a room with a view
But after awhile, they hit on a plan
It's time to start learning, the trouble began
From here on it got rough
At fifteen I'd a dream which I found very clever
I wanted to act, Mama said, "No, never!"
My Father said, "Out!", I was already gone
And followed the call, 'The show must go on!'
From here on it got rough
My talents got spotted, Producers helped out
And gave me those parts where you stand in the crowd
When the star became ill, I stepped in like a shot
And someone from films signed me up on the spot
From here on it got rough
I played all the good parts and sometimes the bad
And sometimes a figleaf was all that I had
And Hollywood said it would certainly die
If I didn't come soon, so I went, aye-aye-aye
From here on it got rough
But now I was famous, I had made it at last
Went happily back to the scene of my past
I received a big prize, had my name in 'Who's Who'
But after a flop, that name was taboo
From here on it got rough
At first I was hurt, I thought it was wrong
Then somebody heard me singing a song
I told him I couldn't, but he said, "Yes, you can!"
So that's how this latest torment began
A change was overdue......
From here it's tough on you"

The Lady Loves Me
The Lady Loves Me
Composer(s): Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett
Performer(s): Elvis Presley & Ann-Margret
EP:
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me
The lady loves me and it shows
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
I'm her ideal, her heart's desire
Under that ice she's burning like fire
She'd like to cuddle up to me
She's playing hard to get
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
AM:
The gentleman has savoir-faire
As much as an elephant or a bear
I'd like to take him for a spin
Back to the zoo to visit his kin
He's got about as much appeal as a soggy cigarette
The lady loathes him but he doesn't know it yet
EP: The lady's got a crush on me
AM: The gentleman's crazy obviously
EP: The lady's dying to be kissed
AM: The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
Or play Russian roulette
EP: The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
EP: She's falling fast she's on the skids
AM: Both of his heads are flipping their lids
EP: Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
AM: I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
Will someone tell this Romeo
I'm not his Juliette
EP: Ah, the lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
EP: She wants me
AM: Like poison ivy
EP: Needs me
AM: Like a hole in the head
EP: Anyone can see she's got it bad
AM: Ha, he's mad!
AM: The gentleman is an egotist
EP: I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist
AM: He's one man I could learn to hate
EP: How's about having dinner at eight
AM: I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
In a moonlight tete-a-tete
EP: Ah, the lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
EP: Ah yes she loves me
AM: Dig that shrinking violet
EP: Oh she really loves me
AM: Here's one gal you'll never get
EP: She lo-lo-loves me
AM: Would you like to make a bet
EP: I said the lady loves me
AM; The gentleman's all wet

Change The Name
Change The Name
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Michelle Shocked
Well, of course, this actually happened
In the reconstruction days of the South it got to be pretty serious
when the carpet-baggers came down and started running the whole show down here
And things were especially rough up in the state of Arkansas
when it was very seriously proposed to change the name of the state
And this is taken down on the Legislative rolls which can now be found
I think, under the date of July the 23rd, 1867
And this is what the hometown boy had to say
I think first he pulled out his horse-pistol and laid it across his desk so he wouldn't be interrupted
Mr Speaker, god-damn your soul, for more than thirty minutes I've been trying to get your attention
but every time I caught your eye you squirmed like a damn dog with a flea in his ass
I guess you know who I am Sir
My name is Cassius M. Johnson from Jackson County, Arkansas
where a man can't stick his ass out the window and shit without it getting riddled with bullets
Why Sir, I was fourteen years old before I had my first pair of pants and they was of buckskin
But at the age of seventeen Mr Speaker, I had a jock on me the size of a roasting ear and it was the pride of Jackson County
And you propose to change the name of Arkansas
Never, by God Sir, never!
I'm out of order?
How can I be out of order when I can piss clear across the Mississippi River?
Where was Andrew Jackson when the battle of New Orleans was fought?
He was right thar Sir, up to his ass in blood
And you change the name of Arkansas?
Never, when I can defend her
You may shit on the grave of George Washington
Piss on the monument of Thomas Jefferson
You may desecrate the sacred remains of the immortal General Robert E. Lee
You may rape the Goddess of Liberty and wipe your ass on the Stars and Stripes
And your crime, your crime Sir will no more compare to this hellish design
than the glow of a lightning-bug's ass to the glare of the noon days sun
And you propose to change the name of Arkansas
Never, by God Sir, never!
You may compare the lily of the valley to the glorious sunflower
Or the sun-kissed peaks of the highest mountains to the smokin' turd of a dunghill
Or the classic strains of Mozart to the fart of a Mexican burrow
You may compare the puny penis of a Peruvian prince to the ponderous buttocks of the Roman gladiator
But change the name of Arkansas?
Never, by God Sir, never!

From Hank To Hendrix
From Hank To Hendrix
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Neil Young
From Hank to Hendrix
I walked these streets with you
Here I am with this old guitar
Doin' what I do
I always expected
That you should see me through
I never believed in much
But I believed in you
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
From Marilyn to Madonna
I always loved your smile
Now we're headed for the big divorce
California-style
I found myself singin'
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end
Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?
Sometime it's distorted
Not clear to you
Sometimes the beauty of love
Just comes ringin' through
New glass in the window
New leaf on the tree
New distance between us
You and me
Can we get it together
Can we still walk side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

The Lady Is A Tramp
The Lady Is A Tramp
Composer(s): Richard Rogers - Lorenz Hart
First performance: Mitzi Green - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She likes the theatre and never comes late
She never bothers with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, and it's *"ok"*
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre but never comes late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'll have no crap games with sharpies and frauds
And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords
And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'd love the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's *"ok"*
Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady
That's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp

From A Window
From A Window
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Billy J. Kramer;
and various other artists
Late yesterday night
I saw a light shine from a window
And as I looked again
Your face came into sight
I couldn't walk on
Until you'd gone from your window
I had to make you mine
I knew you were the one
Oh, I would be so glad
Just to have a love like that
Oh, I would be so true
And I'd live my life for you
So meet me tonight
Just where the light shines from a window
And as I take your hand
Say that you'll be mine tonight
Oh, I would be so glad
Just to have a love like that
Oh, I would be true
And I'd give my life for you
So meet me tonight
Just where the light shines from a window
And as I take your hand
Say that you'll be mine tonight

Lady Came From Baltimore
Lady Came From Baltimore ((aka Sussy Moore (Lollipops) - 1967))
Composer(s): Tim Hardin
First recording/First release by: Bobby Darin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Lady came from Baltimore
All she wore was lace
She didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
The lady's name was Susan Moore
Her daddy read the law
She didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Her daddy said, I was a thief
And didn't marry her for love
I was Susan's true belief
Married her for love
I was there to steal her money
To take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
The house she lived in had a wall
To keep the robbers out
She'd never stop to think at all
If that's what I'm about
I was there to steal her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none

Change Partners
Change Partners
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Must you dance every dance
With the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close
With your lips touching his face?
Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out
And while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven-knows-when
Won't you change partners and then
You may never want to change partners again
Ask him to sit this one out
And while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him
He's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms
Ever since heaven-knows-when
Won't you change partners and then
You may never have to change partners again

From A Whisper To A Scream
From A Whisper To A Scream
Composer(s): Allen Toussaint
Performer(s): Robert Palmer;
Esther Phillips; Allen Toussaint
From a whisper in the wind
To a loud scream
The message came
That I'd lost you
To the warmth of another man
I've seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of April
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason, I just thought you had to be there
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
I simply must have been crazy
Or I must have been out of my mind
For me to overlook the need in you
Tell me, how could I have been so blind
Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
Now I'm begging you please
Oh my love
Oh my love
So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason, I just thought you had to be there
Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love

The Ladies Who Lunch
The Ladies Who Lunch
Composer(s): Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Ute Lemper
and multiple other artists
I'd like to propose a toast
Here's to the ladies who lunch
Everybody laugh.
Lounging in their caftans
And planning a brunch
On their own behalf
Off to the gym
Then to a fitting
Claiming they're fat
And looking grim
'Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat
Does anyone still wear a hat?
I'll drink to that
And here's to the girls who play smart
Aren't they a gas?
Rushing to their classes
In optical art
Wishing it would pass
Another long exhausting day
Another thousand dollars
A matinee, a Pinter play
Perhaps a piece of Mahler's
I'll drink to that
And one for Mahler!
And here's to the girls who play wife
Aren't they too much?
Keeping house but clutching
A copy of "Life"
Just to keep in touch
The ones who follow the rules
And meet themselves at the schools
Too busy to know that they're fools
Aren't they a gem?
I'll drink to them!
Let us all drink to them!
And here's to the girls who just watch
Aren't they the best?
When they get depressed
It's a bottle of Scotch
Plus a little jest
Another chance to disapprove
Another brilliant zinger
Another reason not to move
Another vodka stinger
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I'll drink to that
So here's to the girls on the go
Everybody tries
Look into their eyes
And you'll see what they know
Everybody dies
A toast to that invincible bunch
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch
Everybody rise!
Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise!

Change Of The Guard
Change Of The Guard
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan
If you listen you can hear it
It's the laughter in the street
It's the motion in the music
And the fire beneath your feet
All the signs are right this time
You don't have to try so very hard
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard
All the cowboys and your neighbors
Can you swallow up your pride
Take your guns off if you're willin'
And you know we're on your side
If you wanna get thru the years
It's high time you played your card
If you live in this world
You're feelin' the change of the guard

And time spent alone my friend, will cease

Change Of Heart (Cyndi Lauper)
Change Of Heart
Composer(s): Cyndi Lauper - Essra Mohawk
Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper
Here I am
Just like I said I would be
I'm your friend
Just like you think it should be
Did you think I would stand here and lie
As our moment was passing us by
Oh I am here
Waiting for your change of heart
It just takes a beat
To turn it around
Yes I'm waiting for your change of heart
At the edge of my seat
Please turn it around
Days go by
Leaving me with a hunger
I could fly
Back to when we were younger
When adventures like cars we would ride
And the years lied ahead still untried
While I stand here
Waiting for your change of heart...
Blind leading blind
Never hear the laughter
Search through time
Nothing reveals the answer
If it's truth that you're looking to find
It is nowhere outside of your mind
I bide my time
Waiting for your change of heart...

Performer(s): Elvis Presley;

From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding ring
I've played a ace and I won the queen
I walked away with your heart
From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked, I stacked the cards, I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
You made me king of your heart
Oh for just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king of loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Oh but just in time I saw, I saw that twinkle in your eyes
From a jack to a king from loneliness to a wedding, wedding, wedding ring
I played an ace and I won the queen
You made me king of your heart
